60H Time limit for imposition of final sentence

(1) A final sentence must be imposed on an offender who is the subject of a provisional sentence before the expiry of the initial custodial period.

(2) The
"expiry of the initial custodial period" is--

(a) the date that is 5 years after the date the provisional sentence is imposed, or

(b) the date that is one year before the date the non-parole period (if any) for the provisional sentence ends,

whichever happens first.

(3) A final sentence is not invalid merely because it is imposed after the expiry of the initial custodial period.
